I have been out of contact over the last few days due to the fact I am moving house, so when I finally got my podcasts to listen to there were a few. I saw one from the BBC’s Today program on Northern Rock (warning – multi-megabyte MP3 file) and I thought this may be…

The third keynote at this year’s BAI is Bob Geldof.  I was a bit concerned about him being here as I know there’s a six-figure speaker fee and thought: "has Bob sold out and gone onto the speaker circuit on the back of Live Aid or is he being philanthropic and giving this money to…

As many know, I’m a great fan of science fiction and the future.  So I get an email today from Forbes where Arthur C. Clarke has given his vision of 2500 A.D.  It’s an interesting story, not a new one in some ways, about the biggest danger to the planet being an e-bomb.  An e-bomb…
